Why did they put a RED when there are so many beautiful (i think you meant ugly) BLACK ones,, they were picking a Museum piece

because the RED ones (the Black one are just the ones they made out of the spare parts bin and because Black paint is cheaper so was used as a cost saving exercise, they also spread a rumor that a lot of you guys fell for, silly buggers) are the good ones even the silver engined ones!!! but the Black Engine in the Red ones are faster
 
As Mr Webmaster likes the 'Norton' brand - here's a picture I took of a beautiful 1955 Norton Dominator. Heritage - wow!......And you should see the BSA Rocket 3's that they have there - superb!!....Ron

That is a beautiful machine! You are perceptive, I'm a Norton fan as well.

So was that a Norton sportbike behind the red Rocket 3 in the original picture?

I was being a smart arse shawn.
How much does a Norton like that run $$ ??
 
Shawn I see only 3 different Nortons available and only 1 dealer in the USA. That makes for an expensive bike.
 
It was a very special Norton I have to say. 2006 Crighton Norton 588cc twin rotor Wankel engine. Fuel injected 170 bhp. Smart or what. Ron
